About this listen

If you were given an ancient-looking chair and told Jesus Christ made it, would you believe it? When an elderly lady shows up in Corin Roscoe's antiques store and gives him a chair she claims was built by Christ, he scoffs. But when a young boy is miraculously healed after sitting in the chair, he stops laughing and starts to wonder: Could this chair heal the person whose life I destroyed twelve years ago? As word spreads of the boy's healing, a mega-church pastor is determined to manipulate Corin into turning over the chair. But the mysterious woman who gave him the piece insinuates it is Corin's destiny to guard the chair above everything else. But why? Desperate, he turns to the one person he can trust, a college history professor who knows more about the legend of the chair than he reveals. Searching for the truth about the artifact and the unexplained phenomena surrounding it, Corin soon realizes he isn't the only one willing to do almost anything to possess the power that seems to surround the chair.

Restoration

This is a novel about restoration. What would you do to be healed? Would you look to yourself, modern medicine or spiritual means? What if you had direct access to God through an ancient artifact? What would you do with it? Would you protect it or sell it to the highest bidder? All these questions await you in The Chair. Take the journey toward freedom!

Very well done!

Great story. The narrator did a pretty great job. I was hooked early on and couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend this book!

It's good but not great. Best part- it is a clean read with no trash talk and filthy words.

The storyline is okay. The author flip flops too much. The chair heals/ the chair doesn't heal. The Pastor appears to be the villain throughout the book then it flip flops again. Definitely could have been written better. But hey, no curse words or vulgarness in the entire book.

Most of the book was entertaining.

Enjoyed most of the book, but I really did not like the conclusion. It felt very anticlimactic.

Great book!

Very enjoyable and well performed with a lot of good less eons on trust, forgiveness and reliance on God. So interactions were a bit over the top but didn't detract too much from the story and its lessons.

Another wonderful book

This started out slow for me but it wasn't long before I couldn't put it down. In the end hearing the reason for writing the book... that really hit home!

An Invigorating Rollercoaster of Emotion!

It always makes such an impact to hear a story directly from its author. Once again, James Rubart raises the bar for not only his impeccable writing style, but also its message and delivery!

Reconciliation & Forgiveness!

Would you listen to The Chair again? Why?

OH yes! The narrator was perfect. The story was far-fetched but somehow found myself wondering...what if this were true? This story is centered around a chair but it's about so much more!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Corin

Have you listened to any of James L Rubart’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, i've listened to Rooms by James Rubart about a billion times. He did his own narration for that one and he's really good.

Who was the most memorable character of The Chair and why?

The elderly woman, she had the most secrets.

What A Read!

This book intrigued me from the moment I read the summary of what it was about. Excellent character development, the plot was so captivating, I spent the better part of 3 days just listening to it....it made you think. Once you thought you determined who good guys/bad guys were, a detail would emerge that made you change your mind. The end was nothing like I imagined.....but it was perfect. Great message! I would highly recommend this book!!
